Along with Michelangelo, Napoleon, Jesus and a small cadre of others, Galileo (1564-1642) is one of the few in history to whom we refer habitually by their Christian name alone. A great scientist, he was a man we may place on a similar pedestal to Newton, Einstein and Darwin. Yet there was much more to this man than any biographer has so far portrayed. Galileo was well-known as a heretic who clashed with the Church of Rome over the matter of Copernicus and the heliocentric universe. What is less well known is that Galileo Galilei was the grandmaster of a secret society known as the Illuminati, an anti-Christian group who can trace their origins to the 11th century and which many believe continues to function today. The manifesto of the Illuminati is to bring about the destruction of orthodox Christianity and to supplant it with a doctrine based upon pure science and rationality.
On the surface, Galileo led the life of a conventional catholic, for to do otherwise in 16th and early 17th century Italy was to flirt very dangerously with the wrath of the Inquisition. His role in the Illuminati was kept absolutely secret his entire life, but it has been revealed in recent decades. One of the most striking things about Galileo's career is the way this leadership of the Illuminati segued with his work as a scientist and his involvement with the Roman Inquisition. Most crucially, the trial of Galileo as a proponent of Copernicanism was a complete sham.
The true story, and what lies at the core of this revisionist biography is the fact that Galileo's work threatened to destroy Catholicism during the 1620s and '30s, just when the Church was at its most vulnerable.
